What do these have in common? They
were $%& boxes each and every one. Even esteemed names like “Civic” were
crappy in their early iterations. Through the 1970s and ’80s these cars could be
observed rusting into oblivion, and blowing clouds of oil smoke as they strained
to achieve highway speeds before getting run over by semis and fuel-swilling
V-8-powered Detroit lead sleds. (Please save your indignantly rose-colored
e-mails…these cars did offer, albeit rarely, new technologies and driving grins.
The author put over 120,000 miles on an Omni GLH-S, so he
knows.)

What we have for evaluation today
is the 2007 Hyundai Accent SE. It is most certainly not a piece of junk. Our
fresh example sported no rust and refused to blow any blue smoke. As a matter of
fact, this little car pushed everything we knew about cheap cars right off the
shelf and into the trash can. This is what to think about the inexpensive Accent
SE: It's solid, eager, nicely equipped, cute, practical, and pretty
sporty.

The basic
package

Remember when cars didn’t have
standard power steering, power brakes, power windows, air conditioning,
rear-window defrosters, power door locks, tilt steering columns and even FM
radios? Generally speaking, economy cars into the 1980s were so. How things have
changed. Our as-tested Accent SE offers all of the aforementioned as standard
plus side airbags, side-curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes, fog lights,
illuminated vanity mirrors, heated outside mirrors, 172-watt AM/FM/CD audio
system, cabin air filter, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. All of this, and
it stickers for just under $14,000.

The TCC Rating is a clear numeric rating value based on a 10-point scale that reflects the overall opinion of our automotive experts on any vehicle and rolls up ratings we give each vehicle across sub-categories you care about like performance, safety, styling and more.

Our rating also has simple color-coded “Stop” (red), “Caution” (orange), or “Go” (green) messages along with the numerical score so you can easily understand where we stand at a glance.

Our automotive experts then also collect and show you what other websites say about these different aspects of any vehicle. We do this leg work for you to simplify your research process.
